Elements of Geometry: Conic Sections, and Plane Trigonometry is a comprehensive textbook written by Elias Loomis and first published in 1895. The book covers a wide range of topics in geometry and trigonometry, including conic sections, plane geometry, and plane trigonometry. The first part of the book focuses on conic sections, which are curves that result from intersecting a plane with a cone. The author explains the properties of conic sections, including ellipses, parabolas, and hyperbolas, and provides numerous examples and exercises to help readers understand these concepts.The second part of the book covers plane geometry, which deals with the properties and relationships of points, lines, angles, and figures in two dimensions. The author explains the basic principles of plane geometry, including Euclidean geometry, and provides examples and exercises to help readers develop their problem-solving skills.The final part of the book covers plane trigonometry, which is the study of the relationships between the sides and angles of triangles. The author explains the basic principles of trigonometry, including the sine, cosine, and tangent functions, and provides examples and exercises to help readers apply these concepts to real-world problems.Overall, Elements of Geometry: Conic Sections, and Plane Trigonometry is a comprehensive textbook that provides a thorough introduction to the principles and applications of geometry and trigonometry. It is suitable for students and teachers of mathematics, as well as anyone interested in these subjects.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

The stereotype plates pf my Elements of Geometry and Conic Sections having become so much worn by long-continued use that it was found necessary to recast them, the opportunity has been improved to give the entire book a thorough revision. As the general plan of the original work has met with very extensive approval, it has not been thought best to modify it materially; nevertheless, the minor changes which have been made are numerous and of considerable importance. The volume commences with a brief sketch of the history of Elementary Geometry, which, it is hoped, may increase the students interest in a subject which has occupied the attention of so many gifted minds. The definitions of Book Lhave been somewhat amplified, for the purpose of giving clearer ideas of the philosophy of the subject; and several no.tes have been added to the first pages of the book which, it is hoped, may be found useful and suggestive, although they are generally such as any competent teaicher might easily have supplied. In Book n. the subject of Ratio has been expanded, especially for the purpose of meeting the difficulty of incommensurable quantities; and in this I have followed substantially the method of Vincent in his Cours de Geometric. A few new propositions have been added to Books IH., IV., and V.; and at the close of Book VL is given a considerable collection of new theorems and problems, with some numerical exercises on the preceding books. These theorems and problems are so simple that it is hopedmany students may be encouraged to labor upon them; for no one can be considered as master of the subject of Geometry who has not acquired the ability to discover the demonstration of new theorems and the solution of new problems.
